Want to make a mathematician laugh? Offer him a "proof by example".

This "Bredt Rule" appears to have been essentially a "proof by example". For non-mathematicians out there: Proof by example looks sort of like this: "Every example of 'X' I can find has 'Y' characteristic, therefore all 'X' has 'Y' characteristic". It's not a proof at all; it's sort of an example of "incredulity" as a logical fallacy.

Ha, good comment. The history of science is filled with examples of “laws” that were later shown to be wrong. And they were shown to be wrong via experimentation and vigorous debate.

But we are not allowed to debate Climate Change. And don’t you dare publish a study contradicting Mr. Gore’s “settled science”. It is disgraceful that so many scientists are on board with that. I guess their government grants take precedence over their ethics.

If elected, I promise to rid the atmosphere of all double carbon dioxide.

The Argument from Ignorance, also known as Appeal to Ignorance, is a logical fallacy where evidence does not support the theory. It occurs when someone asserts that a proposition is true or false solely because it has not been proven false or true, respectively...............

Really? Ask any Covid scientist and they will say it is settled. Ask any evolutionist and they will say it is settled. Ask any surgeon who profits off transgender surgeriesand guess what they will say?

Man oh maneshcevitz. How true that is. Following the money will show up so many "truths" we have benn told for, forever.

Dolby later said that he wrote the line “Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto” because he wanted a Japanese woman to appear in the video. He was quoted as saying. “I was boldly ahead of the times in fetishizing Asian women.” The name is a reference to Ryuichi Sakamoto’s wife Akiko Yano, who was in the studio at the time; she had previously sung backing on Dolby’s 1982 single “Radio Silence”, and he would collaborate with Sakamoto on the single Field Work a couple of years later.

Double carbon? Great. Now we’re going to have double global warming.

I am leaning toward “not guilty.”

I’m still pissed off at her. She blinded me!

But it’s carbon, carbon needs to be banned or we will have hurricanes.
